    =====================

    I am still waiting on my developer to finish up on the Classifieds Control Panel so I can use it to encourage members into becoming paying members. Google Adsense has become a real burden on the viewing of this site, but honestly it is the ONLY source of income now that keeps it afloat. I tried offering disabling the ads being viewed by paying members, but apparently that is not enough incentive. Quite frankly, Google Adsense has dropped down to where it barely brings in enough daily to match even a single paid member per day. But it still gets the bills paid. But at what cost?

    So even without the classifieds control panel being complete, I believe I am going to have to disable those Google ads completely and likely disable some options here that have been free since going to the new platform. Like classified ad bumping, member name changes, and anything else I can use to encourage this site to be supported by the members instead of the Google Adsense ads.

    But there is risk involved. I will not pay out of pocket for very long during this last ditch experimental effort. If I find that the membership does not want to support this site with memberships, then I cannot support your being able to post your classified ads here for free. No, I am not intending to start charging for your posting ads here. I will just shut the site down and that will be it. I will be done with FaunaClassifieds. I certainly don't need this, and can live the rest of my life just fine without it. If I see that no one else really wants it to survive neither, then so be it. It goes away and you all can just go elsewhere to advertise your animals and merchandise.

    Not sure when this will take place, and I don't intend to give any further warning concerning the disabling of the Google Adsense. Just as there probably won't be any warning if I decide to close down this site. You will just come here and there will be some sort of message that the site is gone, and you have a nice day.

    I have been trying to make a go of this site for a very long time. And quite frankly, I am just tired of trying. I had hoped that enough people would be willing to help me help you all have a free outlet to offer your stuff for sale. But every year I see less and less people coming to this site, much less supporting it financially. That is fine. I tried. I retired the SerpenCo business about 14 years ago, so retiring out of this business completely is not that big if a step for me, nor will it be especially painful to do. When I was in Thailand, I did not check in here for three weeks. I didn't miss it even a little bit. So if you all want it to remain, it will be in your hands. I really don't care either way.

    =====================
    Some people have indicated that finding the method to contribute is rather difficult. And I have to admit, that it is not all that obvious. So to help, here is a thread to help as a quide. How to become a contributing member of FaunaClassifieds.

    And for the record, I will be shutting down the Google Adsense ads on January 1, 2025.

Superb!!!

Luis is a class act; the lesser arrived safe and secure and the packaging was top notch - thanks Luis!!!
 
I bought a lesser from Luis back in 09. She was packaged perfectly and arrived safe and sound. Luis answered every single question with promptness and courtesy (even though I had emailed several times with several questions). She is doing great today and still feeds regularly. Definitely got a top-notch animal from Luis, and I would not hesitate to do business with him again. He is definitely one of the good guys in the business! I give the :thumbsup:
 
Luis and I just completed a first time trade on some ball pythons. I must say I could not be happier with the results. It always up for grabs sometimes doing trades. We both shipped on the same day putting our trust into each others word. I wish there were more people like Luis doing business in the reptile/pet trade!
 
My new ball has arrived! He's very thick, mite free, BEAUTIFULL, and even seems like he's been handled. This deal was 100% FLAWLESS! Luis was a PLEASURE to work with.I look forward to doing more business with you. It's great to meet and do business with HONEST people.
...We named him Luie...LOL
Sincerely;
Jamie Capano
 
Just bought a couple ball pythons from Luis Moreno.Fact I'm holding one as I write this! The snakes i received are just gorgeous! The pictures he sent had the exact colors of the snakes and I got exactly what I wanted! I must say the same as jamie above ^ The older one i bought is very thick, and even seems like he's been handled!! They are all mite free and BEAUTIFULL!

This guy is GREAT and EASY TO DO BUSINESS WITH![/U]

Also he gave me a free 2011 normal!


Thank you so much Luis!
 
excellent service

Just purchased a beautiful Queen Bee from Luis. Little guy arrived safe and sound. Even the packaging was done to perfection!!

Luis has been very responsive in answering all questions, sending pix, etc.

It was a worry-free transaction.

Thanks Luis....you the man!!!!
 
Great guy

Over the past weekend I created a post looking for some animals Luis responded immediately so we worked an arrangement on Sunday I payed for my animals and immediately after received a tracking number from fed ex and every 6 hours would get an update as to the location of my package luis was adamant about ensuring his product arrived in good condition everything look really healthy and is doing great.... He is easy to work with and has extremely good prices. Thanks Luis
 
Bought a real pretty Spider Python hes in great shape... It was paid for and sent the same day great customer service I buy from him again...
 
I bought an Enchi and Spotnose males from him and let me just say that he offered a package price that was unbelievable. He responded to every email that I had sent very quickly and didn't hesitate to answer any questions I had. All in all, it was a great experience doing business with him, he had great unbeatable prices, and made every transaction go smoothly, so I would recommend him to anyone and I hope to do more business with him in the future!:)
 
Just received my 3 males today. All I can say is I am very satisfied with my purchase. He took time to contact me, and answer all my questions. The shipping was fast and on time. I will not hesitate to do business with Luis again.
 
Thank you Luis!

I am 100% satisfied and happy with my new addition from Luis, He is very professional and quick to respond. I got animal in a couple days which is unbelievable and the pictures didn't do it justice cause it was waay better than what i expected. Thank you and i will be shopping again!

Great guy to deal with

I met Luis of Ball Python Online several months ago. I've purchased several animals from him that are top top notch. I've even had the opportunity to visit his facility. His adults are among the nicest I have seen. An awesome setup.
A nice guy, great service and top notch animals.
His Black Pastel Pewters are the nicest I have ever seen by far. (They will be the next on my list to get from him) They are unreal !
 
Albino Spider traded for Female Enchi

Luis is a great guy, we have done prior business before and will continue doing business with him in the future, he's got some nice Grade - A ++++ animals he works with.
